Priceline Hotel: need help bidding on las vegas 5* or 4*

[aperezm]

Hi - Can anyone offer help or advice on bidding on a 5* or 4* hotel room (Las Vegas Strip) for 6/2 - 6/4 (Fri - Sun)? What should my expectations be for rates? Ideally I'd like $150 or less, but I'm not sure if that is reasonable for a weekend.

Thanks!

How about the Aladdin for $154/nite, which is actually cheaper than a $150 bid since there is no booking fee?

Would you want to go with this? Or at least book it and use it as a back-up while you try to beat this thru Priceline or Hotwire?

Do keep in mind that when bidding 4* via Priceline you run the 'risk' of getting the Westin which is slightly off the strip.

Let us know your thoughts.

The Aladdin at $154 is perfectly fine - if I book via that link, is it final? (No cancellations, no refunds?) Just checking so that I don't book there and try to win on Priceline/Hotwire.

Thanks again.

I got the Flamingo at $90/night for that weekend.
